Aussie actor Nathan Phillips who is currently based in Los Angeles dropped into the MDA to visit the Futures program participants.

Nathan is perhaps best known for his role as backpacker Ben Mitchell in Wolf Creek and for his American film debut, Snakes on a Plane, opposite Samuel L. Jackson, in 2006.

Phillips has since enjoyed a thriving film career, starring in Australian movies such as Take Away, One Perfect Day and Under the Radar. In 2005, hit horror film Wolf Creek introduced him to an international audience, helping to launch his US film career with roles in Snakes on a Plane.

Nathan spent a very entertaining afternoon spinning stories about Hollywood, behind the scenes of big and small budget movies and his love of surfing and photography.
